I love this movie so much

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Excellent but underrated film

Admirable film.

I found Good Boy! while flipping through channels this afternoon and was pulled in to watch it all. There is not other word for the movie but cute--it is not great art, but a delightful little fantasy about dogs and people and their special bond. The voice actors for the dogs are excellent, with a special shout out for Brittany Murphy's nervous Nelly--quite touching. There is not much computerized distortion of the dogs' appearance so the dogs are cute and natural. If you are going to make a movie about dogs, it is nice to see real dogs. Hubble is adorable! The acting is a little stiff and formulaic from most characters, but Liam Aiken gives an amazingly natural and touching performance. I cared about this kid and Hubble the dog. I admit to a few tears at the end. Nice for the whole family--even my cat-person son liked this.

My brother (13) and I (15) watched this movie yesterday and concluded that it's a fine movie for kids under ten. The talking animals are cute, there's nothing really horrible about the movie, but there's nothing really great about it either. The parents were a little annoying and weren't really part of the plot. It got on my nerves that the mother in the movie didn't seem to notice that her son was lonely and hardly paid any attention to him, except when she wanted to get out her KODAK camera and snap a picture of him.I am a fan of Liam Aiken; his character was pleasant and lovable. I think Liam did as well as he could with the role, considering he was talking to dogs that didn't respond to him the entire movie. The scene towards the end of the movie where he's pouring out his heart to Hubble is really well done and shows what a great actor Liam is.The girl who played Connie wasn't much of an actor, in my opinion, she seemed kind of fake. The two bullies in the movie were really stereotypical. Most of their scenes show them following Owen around and repeating the same old insults over and over. Real creative.Bottom line: This is a "good clean fun" kind of movie for younger kids. It is rated PG because of all the poop jokes, which I'm sure they will find amusing. Make sure you watch it with the director's commentary - it was a lot more interesting than the film by itself.

This is a film about a boy, whose name is Owen(Liam Aiken)who is a neighborhood dog walker. He even wears a dog walker uniform with a name tag! This gives the appearance that he is a pro dog walker! Now Owen is a lonely boy with no friends except the dogs he walks. He is bullied by two other boys.But Owen has a good attitude, he respects his parents(Kevin Nealon & Molly Shannon)who renovates homes for a living-and they live in the house they are currently working on. This does not make things any easier for Owen, who has a desire to settle down and stay put in one house. Owen, however takes it all in stride and makes the best out of the situation.He is awakened by a noise-the sound of something crashing. This will be referred later as a "Sonic Boom" When his parents allow him to adopt his own dog, the one he picks at the pound-is like no other dog. He soon discovers that this pooch can talk. Owen gives him the name "Hubble" but his real name is "Canine 3942" a dog from outer space!Hubble informs Owen that thousands of years ago, dogs were sent to earth from the "Home Star" AKA "The dog star Sirus" to colonize and rule earth. Dogs were not supposed to be pets! So, Hubble is here on a fact finding mission-to confirm rumors that the dogs have strayed from their original mission. Hubble is here to try to reverse that.Now, Hubble becomes very fond of Owen-he have to choose between life on earth or the ability to talk. Hubble isn't the only talking dog, all the dogs can talk! When Hubble fails to rally the dogs to their original mission, "The Greater Dane" shows up! She is the "queen of the Dogs" Can Hubble and Owen persuade the "Greater Dane" to let Hubble and the other dogs stay here on earth?Now I admit that the story line resolving around the dogs is silly! And It's the bathroom humor that earns it's PG rating, however there's so much to like about this film. Dog lovers will love this film! We should be thankful that dogs can't talk! All the Characters is perfectly cast, esp Liam Aiken as Owen and "Flynn" as "Hubble"Great Film. 8 out of 10.

I have seen this movie today. Whatever critics say, it's not a bad movie overall. I think Good Boy is a must see movie for dog lovers, very good movie for kids and above average funny and enjoyable movie for adults.Plot looks not great but have some of originality. It's not simply a dogs movie, it's a cute heart-warming movie about friendship and loyalty not only between dogs and human, but between people too. Acting are not bad, young Liam Aiken have reasonably good performance. Typical PG movie - without any violence and profanity with some crude humor. So , it's a good movie for whole family. Clearly, not great, but worth to see or at least to rent. 6,8 out of 10, but if I would be a few years younger, I could rate it higher.
